County staff to refine security-camera plan and move schedule for Government Center

Board of Allen County Commissioners · July 30, 2026

Summary

Building and Grounds reported on security cameras, an access-control gate reader ($1,130.66), safes, mail-drop boxes and a planned Oct. 10 move-in schedule for departments relocating to the Government Center; commissioners asked for revised cost estimates and vendor quotes.

Building-and-Grounds staff provided a weekly update focused on security and logistical work for the Government Center and Courthouse. Commissioners reviewed a $1,130.66 quote from Northwestern Ohio Security Systems for an access-control card reader for the parking gate and asked staff to complete the allowance form; staff will re-evaluate overall camera needs and timing against the courthouse renovation. The Recorder intends to purchase a fireproof safe; Treasurer Bohn's preferred option carried a $4,319 quote and commissioners scheduled a follow-up meeting with the Treasurer next Thursday to discuss funding and placement.

Other points included research on mail drop box sizing and placement requested by the Treasurer and Veterans Service Commission, and a target move-in date of October 10 for departments moving into the Government Center. Commissioner Noonan said he would consult CORSA on recommended surveillance recording retention periods. Staff will obtain updated quotes and return with refined cost estimates for commissioner consideration.
